Need help creating package for Tiger

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I used the included information to build git on 10.4 (I had to add
NO_EXPAT=1 to the Makefile)
2. I attempted to create a .pkg using PackageMaker's "Assist Me" button,
but after entering all the information I get an error on trying to copy
/usr/local/git to /private/tmp/<someTempDir>/WorkingRoot

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: a new .pkg file
Received: "Could not copy" error shown above

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Git 1.5.5.1 on OS X 10.4

Please provide any additional information below.
Any other tips that may help create a package similar to the existing
downloads for 10.5 are greatly appreciated.

I wish I could help you, but I don't have access to a tiger machine.  Sorry :(

I'm not sure how much help it'll be, but here's a tarball of /usr/local/git 
from my
machine.  Maybe someone can make something useful from it.

Hmm, actually, that is helpful.  I can create an installer from that.  I'll que 
up a to-do when I have time.

Wow, I guess I never had the time :)  Have you created another tiger tar-ball?  
I
can't believe this went a whole year without being handled.

Hrm, I'd forgotten that this still needed follow-up.  I've not done more with 
it, and
unfortunately, I'm now on Leopard and without access to Tiger anymore either.  
Maybe
the right thing to do is to create the installer based on the previous tarball 
and
let anyone who wants to submit an updated one?

You could always make universal binaries locally.

CFLAGS="-O -g -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -isysroot 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk
-arch i386 -arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc" ./configure <other options,
--prefix etc>

I am on snow leopard now and I only have the MacOSX10.5 framework.  If someone 
else would like to step up, then by all means :)  Contribute.
